SR MMIC Design Engineer

We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious MMIC Design Engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation MMICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe.

Responsibilities :

• Derive hardware specifications for the RF system and MMIC blocks
• Develop MMIC products from initial specification to mass production and ensure full compatibility in all aspects of implementation in the system.
• Simulate / model MMIC front end circuits (power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, switches) at the circuit level and electromagnetic level, working with system architects, modem / DSP and ASIC engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains
• Determine how to package and implement MMIC’s, and work with RF engineers and PCB designers to develop packages and / or modules
• Evaluate, characterize, and analyse full performance of MMIC prototypes
• Assist in the development of automated test equipment for lab measurements
• Work with manufacturing engineers on production testing of MMIC components and RF systems
• Mentor junior engineers by reviewing designs, sharing best practices, and guiding them through MMIC design, simulation, and validation processes.

Basic Qualifications :

• Master’s / bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
• 5+ years of research and / or industry experience in RF / microwave circuit design
• Experience with GaAs and / or GaN MMIC design of linear and non-linear circuits such as power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, mixers, filters and PLLs, including full circuit design and layout

Preferred Skills and Experience :

• Master’s degree or PhD in an engineering discipline with emphasis in MMIC design, RF / microwave circuits, and / or electromagnetic theory
• Deep understanding of theory and MMIC design of RF front end blocks, from S-band to E-band frequency ranges
• RF / microwave design tool experience using ADS, HFSS, AWR or similar
• RF / microwave design in the Ku, Ka, V and E-band frequency range
• Familiar with radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generator, network analyzers, load pull and probe stations at millimetre wave frequencies.
• Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK and QAM
• Understanding of electromagnetic propagation and antenna systems

Soft skills :

• Good communication skills
• Be able to clearly communicate
• Be able to perform clear written documentation of tests and experiments on computer
• Proactive team player, Ability to take up ownership and finish activities,
• Fast learner, adaptive, good problem-solving skills
